Marshmallow Squares Recipes

Steps:

• Melt together butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips on very low heat until mixed, stirring constantly. Cool for a bit (so as not to melt the marshmallows).
• Stir in mini marshmallows.
• Pour in a greased 11" x 13" pan.
• Refrigerate and cut into small (1-1/2") squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar and butter until crumbly and well blended. Press the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x9 inch baking pan.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm and golden. Set aside to cool.
• Pour cold water into a medium saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in the white sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar and gelatin. When the mixture is clear, remove from heat and stir in the confectioners' sugar. Set aside until cool.
• When the mixture has cooled to luke warm, stir in the baking powder, vanilla and almond extracts and any color of food coloring. Beat at high speed with an electric mixer until the mixture can hold a peak. Pour over the shortbread base and cool until the gloss disappears. Cut into 36 squares and enjoy!

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least two sides; butter the foil. Pick out and reserve 1/2 cup the colorful marshmallows from the cereal.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the standard marshmallows and stir continuously until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal until coated.
• Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish and let cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted.
• Use the foil overhang to lift out the treats from the pan. Drizzle the chocolate over the treats and sprinkle with the reserved colorful marshmallows. Let the chocolate coating harden at room temperature, about 2 hours. Cut into 18 bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Toast coconut in a shallow baking pan in oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Oil 9-inch baking pan, then sprinkle bottom with 1/2 cup toasted coconut.
• Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water in bowl of mixer and let soften while making syrup.
• Heat sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup water in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat, without stirring, washing any sugar crystals down side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Put thermometer into syrup and continue boiling, without stirring, until it registers 240°F (soft-ball stage). Remove from heat and let stand until bubbles dissipate.
• With mixer at low speed, pour hot syrup into gelatin in a thin stream down side of bowl. Increase speed to high and beat until very thick, about 15 minutes. Add vanilla and coconut extracts and beat 1 minute more.
• Spoon marshmallow over toasted coconut in baking pan and press evenly with dampened fingertips to smooth top (it will be very sticky), then evenly sprinkle top with 1/2 cup toasted coconut.
• Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature until firm, about 2 hours.
• Run a sharp knife around edge of marshmallow and invert onto a cutting board. Cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips, then cut each strip into 3/4-inch squares.
• Put remaining toasted coconut in a small bowl and dredge marshmallows in it to coat completely.

Steps:

• Coat a 9 x 13 inch pan with spray oil or margarine.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over low heat. Add the vanilla. Melt the marshmallows into the margarine, stirring. Add the cereal when the marshmallows have melted; stir until cereal is coated. Quickly pour into the prepared pan. Use a sheet of waxed paper to press the mixture down flat and evenly into the pan.
• Let set for 2 to 3 hours. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• In the lower pot of a double boiler, add water halfway to top and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. In the top of a double boiler, heat butter, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter until melted. Remove from heat.
• Stir in coconut, walnuts, and marshmallows.
• Pour mixture in buttered pan. Refrigerate and cut into squares. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• On stovetop or in microwave melt first 3 ingredients.
• When melted add vanilla and marsmallows, mix well and put in a buttered 9x9 (can use a 9x13 but they will not be as thick) Place in refrigerator to set& cool.

Steps:

• FIRST LAYER: Combine first 3 ingredients together. Mix to crumble. Press into ungreased 9 x 9 inch pan. Bake in 325 degrees F. oven for 20 minutes until set and golden. COOL.
• SECOND LAYER: Put water in saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over and let stand for 5 minutes. Add granulated sugar and salt. Heat over medium heat stirring to dissolve gelatin and sugar. Remove from heat. Stir in icing sugar. COOL.
• When cool, beat until foamy. Add baking powder, vanilla and almond. Add food coloring to tint a pretty pink. Beat at high speed until thick enough to stand in peaks.
• Pour soft pink mixture over shortbread base. COOL until gloss disappears.
• Additions to be tried if you care to---1/2 cup of chopped cherries or 1/2 cup toasted chopped almonds.
• Cut into 36 pretty squares.
• Company's Coming.

Steps:

• Melt butter, chips, and peanut butter together on low heat.
• Cool, add marshmallows.
• Pour into 8x8 pan to set.

Steps:

• Spray a 9-by-12-inch pan with cooking spray, then place a layer of parchment paper cut to size on top. Spray the top of the parchment so it is coated lightly.
• Pour 1/2 cup cold water in a small microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder on top and stir well. Let stand for at least 3 minutes to allow the gelatin to absorb the water.
• Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, honey and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan and heat to 250 degrees F. The syrup will thicken and be boiling. Pour the syrup into the bowl of a stand mixer and let stand to cool down to 212 degrees F; this happens fairly quickly.
• Microwave the gelatin mixture for 30 seconds to a minute or until the gelatin is completely melted but not over 135 degrees F.
• Add the melted gelatin mixture to the cooked syrup. Place the bowl on the mixer with a whip attachment and whip on high, stopping after about 7 minutes to add the vanilla, until the mixture gets white and fluffy, 8 to 10 minutes. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the crushed Oreos®. Scrape the mixture out into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top with the remaining 2 cups of crushed Oreos®. Set aside to allow the marshmallows to set up, a couple of hours.
• Cut the marshmallows and toss in a 50/50 cornstarch-confectioners' sugar mixture to prevent them from sticking back together. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Make ganache:
• Melt chocolates with cream, liqueur, and espresso powder in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water or in top of a double boiler, whisking occasionally, until smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand at room temperature until thickened, about 2 hours.
• Make marshmallow squares:
• Line a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with a long sheet of foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each end.
• Melt marshmallows and butter with sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and gently stir in puffed-rice cereal. Transfer to lined baking pan, pressing mixture evenly onto bottom with dampened fingertips. Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes, then carefully lift from pan by grasping both ends of foil. Peel off and discard foil, then cut into 1-inch squares.
• Spread some of ganache on half of squares, using about 1/2 teaspoon ganache each, then top with remaining squares. Reheat remaining ganache in metal bowl over barely simmering water, whisking occasionally, until loosened, then drizzle over tops of squares.
• Let squares stand until set, about 15 minutes.
